Free Camelot Wheel for DJs
The Camelot wheel turns music theory into a clock: 12 numbers, two rings (A = minor, B = major). Songs next to each other on the wheel mix in key. Below is the full chart, and the app version is interactive and works with your own music library.

How to read it
Find the key of the song that is playing. Its number is the position on the clock and its letter is the ring: A for minor, B for major.
From any code you can usually move to:
- 8A Same key — Safest: always in tune
- 9A +1 (clockwise) — Smooth lift, a fifth up
- 7A −1 (counter-clockwise) — Smooth, slightly calmer
- 8B Relative major — Same notes, mood switches brighter
- 10A +2 energy boost — Noticeable lift, use with a short blend
- 3A +7 semitone lift — Big “key change” lift, works on drops
Example shown for 8A (A minor).
